Contemporary Theatre Review

Aims & Scope

Contemporary Theatre Review (CTR) analyses what is most passionate and vital in theatre today.

It encompasses a wide variety of theatres, from new playwrights and devisors to theatres of movement, image and other forms of physical expression, from new acting methods to music theatre and multi-media production work.

Recognising the plurality of contemporary performance practices, it encourages contributions on physical theatre, opera, dance, design and the increasingly blurred boundaries between the physical and the visual arts.
